A fundraiser full of characters for World Book Day
Staff and pupils at Sir William Robertson Academy took part in the day - raising £602 for Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.
The fundraiser was held in memory of Daniel Harris - a six year-old boy who died just before Christmas. Daniel, from Nottinghamshire, had many friends at the school.

Christina Mower, head of Lancer House, suggested the day should be a fundraiser in memory of Daniel.
“When I went to pay my respects on New Year’s Day, I saw lots of our students and parents from SWRA and realised that Daniel was a much-loved little boy who had touched the hearts of many of our school community,” said Mrs Mower, who dressed as Daniel’s favourite character Mr Bump on the day. “I decided then that holding a non-uniform day to raise money for the family’s favourite charity was the right thing to do.”
